Updated

The Spanish Government has agreed with the UGT and CSIF a multiannual plan to increase civil servants' salaries by 11% between 2025 and 2028.

The agreement will also apply in the Basque Country, since, according to the Basque Government, it will pay the maximum permitted by state legislation, but this will slightly reduce the increase initially planned in the budgets for 2026.

What's the promotion going to look like?

  • 2025: +2.5% with retroactive effect from January, finally in the Basque Country it could be charged in January 2026 for pending legal formalities.
  • 2026: + 1.5% fixed plus an additional 0.5% if the CPI exceeds that amount, which is less than the 2.5% initially envisaged in the Basque budget.
  • 2027: +4.5%.
  • 2028: +2%.

Although the increase is 11%, trade unions estimate that the cumulative effect could be close to 11.5%.

How does it affect the ACV?

The Basque Government has confirmed that it will be in line with the State framework: 130,000 public employees will receive the increase, although the procedures could delay payment by 2025. By 2026, the maximum amount will be set by the State (1.5% or 2% if the CPI so requires), below the 2.5% provided for in the Basque budgets.

Beyond wages: other improvements

The Covenant provides for significant changes in the civil service:

  • The replenishment rate has been eliminated, which will enable staff to be strengthened.
  • Faster selection processes: OPEs will have to be resolved in one year.
  • Promote internal promotion and mobility.
  • Update residential accessories and insularity by 2026.
  • Strengthening public attention and improvements in conciliation, occupational health and mutual societies (Muface, Mugeju and Isfas).

Trade union positions

  • For CSIF, this is "the best agreement that can be reached" in a context dominated by political blockade and budget cuts and will allow 2.9% of purchasing power to be restored.
  • UGT has described it directly as a "grand bargain" that benefits not only public employees, but also "the quality of services and citizens."
  • CCOO, on the other hand, does not yet support it. The final decision will be announced in the next few hours.

Continuation of the Covenant

A monitoring committee will be set up to monitor compliance with the agreement. The CSIF has already warned that the treaty "is not a blank cheque."
